(Hold your breath in the dark…)

⋆⋆⋆

“Hold your breath in the dark.”

❉᯽⏱︎ Verse 1 ⏱︎᯽❉

We were running barefoot through the Houma moss

Didn’t count the pennies, didn’t count the loss

You were the sunlight, laughter in your eyes

I was the shadow under bayou skies

⋆⋆⋆

We had carefree summers, spinning on the lawn

Swore that our friendship always would stay strong

Two small hands held fast, ready to defy fate

Too young to know the meaning of the weight

❉᯽⏱︎ Pre-Chorus ⏱︎᯽❉

Then the chill set in, swept my mom away

You held my hands when I couldn't pray

And when your world cracked down to the ground

It was I who helped you through the drought

We’ve been sad together, wept beneath the rain

Now blood and iron running in our veins

❉᯽⏱︎ Chorus ⏱︎᯽❉

Don’t write! Don’t call! Don’t you dare look back!

I will keep the secret when the hounds attack!

Let the gears unwind, let the pendulum swing

I can bear the winter and the scars they bring

Oh, a quiet heart, but a wall of stone

Reach your place of safety, I’ll stand alone!

❉᯽⏱︎ Verse 2 ⏱︎᯽❉

Now the wind screams dry through Carson County dust

Pocket watch resting in a drawer untouched

Reflections in the window of a busy bar

Strangers on the floorboards, faces in a blur

⋆⋆⋆

A gray sedan slowing in the street outside

And I wonder if this is the right place to hide

They think they can break what they cannot find

They don’t know the clockwork ticking in my mind!

❉᯽⏱︎ Pre-Chorus ⏱︎᯽❉

They slammed my shoulders, trying to break my will

The wail of sirens made them run for the hills

I swore on the cradle, I swore on your life

I took the hammer so you’d miss the knife!

❉᯽⏱︎ Chorus ⏱︎᯽❉

Don’t write! Don’t call! Don’t you dare look back!

I will keep the secret when the hounds attack!

Let the gears unwind, let the pendulum swing

I can bear the winter and the scars they bring!

Oh, a quiet heart, but a wall of stone

Reach your place of safety, I’ll stand alone!

❉᯽⏱︎ Bridge ⏱︎᯽❉

Across the border where the water freezes clear

He’ll never touch you, never find you there

A new life breathing in your northern dawn…

The pact is sealed

The latch is drawn

Let them come and break their knuckles on my door!

They dared to harm my precious anchor

This means war!

❉᯽⏱︎ Chorus ⏱︎᯽❉

Don’t write! Don’t call! Don’t you dare look back!

I will keep the secret when the hounds attack!

Let the gears unwind, let the pendulum swing

I can bear the winter and the scars they bring

Oh, a quiet heart, but a wall of stone

Reach your place of safety, I’ll stand alone!

❉᯽⏱︎ Final Chorus⏱︎᯽❉

Don’t write! Don’t call! Don’t you dare look back!

I will keep the secret when the hounds attack!

Let the gears unwind, let the pendulum swing

I can bear the winter and the scars they bring!

Oh, a quiet heart, but fire in my bones

As long as I breathe, you’ll never stand alone!

❉᯽⏱︎ Outro ⏱︎᯽❉

Hands of time…

Quiet heart

We were friends together…

Worlds apart

Hands of time…

Hold the line
